2. Optical Fibres for the LHC Machine and Experimental Areas Optical Fibre Meeting 3 October 2002 Luit Koert de Jonge/ST-EL-OF

3. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge2 Agenda  The Optical Network Policy  The Optical Network STAR points  Technology  Installation  Contract  What we require from YOU  Questions

4. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge3 The optical network policy  The CERN Optical Network is built of Optical Trunks connecting STAR points  IT and ST plan the Optical Network together  The optical fibres in and between STAR points are managed and allocated by IT-CS  Individual fibre usage (dark fibres) out of a STAR point is handled by ST-EL  Users shall use the IT-CS IP/Ethernet Network for all their Communications needs

5. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge4 The main surface STAR points “LAME VIBRANTE” To lay the HDPE ducts P32-PZ33

6. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge5 The “Lame Vibrante” at work The machine advanced at a speed of about 60 cm per minute and left a clean field behind. One must of course be absolutely sure that no obstacles, like water supplies or electrical cables are on its way.

7. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge6 Optical fibre cabling  SURFACE  SURFACE TO UNDERGROUND (SHAFTS)  TUNNEL  BEAM INSTRUMENTATION  EXPERIMENTAL AREAS

8. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge7 Surface optical links from PCR  Sites 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 513 and CNGS OK  Sites 2, 32, 33 and 4 to be done  Old HDPE ducts to above sites in bad state –they are in place since 1986 –ducts to P6 had (have) to be replaced –ducts to P8 had to be repaired at several spots  Blowing of cables difficult/impossible

9. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge8 Optical cabling with tube systems  Install (blow) guide tubes (low cost)  Blow mini optical cables on demand  Modular and Flexible  Lower initial cost  Easy to replace cables  Outdoor resistant

10. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge9 Blowing of guide tubes

11. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge10 Blowing of mini optical fibre cables  This Micro-Jet can blow mini optical fibre cables with (1- 72) fibres.  Size of an A4 sheet and 10 cm high.  Several units can be cascaded.  Blowing pressure is 10 Bar. Micro-Jet from Plumettaz/CH

12. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge11 Surface ducts with guide tubes Ø 40/50 mm duct 7 x Ø 10 mm guide tubes Capacity 7 x 72=504 optical fibres Ø 32/40 mm duct 5 x Ø 10 mm guide tubes Capacity 5 x 72=360 optical fibres

13. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge12 3 ducts types with guide tubes Ø 25 mm duct with 7 x Ø 7 mm guide tubes Capacity 7 x 24=168 optical fibres Ø 40 mm duct with 10 x Ø 7 mm guide tubes 10 x 24=240 optical fibres Guide tubes replaceable (change size) Ø 18 mm duct with 3 x Ø 7 mm guide tubes Capacity 3 x 24=72 optical fibres

14. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge13 Installation principles  Ø 40 mm duct with 10 guide tubes between SR and US/UJ  Ø 40 mm duct in the LHC tunnel with stops at US/UJ and partial stops at the alcoves RE –duct fixed together with leaky feeder cable to tunnel wall  Ø 25 mm duct for SL-BI and medium installations  Ø 18 mm duct for low capacity installations  Once the above infrastructure is in place, the mini optical cables can be blown  The tunnel fibres must be replaceable in case of radiation damage

15. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge14 Radiation measurements (RADWG) Measurements of optical cable (multimode and single-mode fibre)

16. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge15 OTDR OTAU NTE Optical Test Access Unit RTU Remote Test Unit Cable under test Optical Time Domain Reflecto meter CERN intranet SNMP WEB Client Internet System Management Network terminal to other cables under test Fibre monitoring system “ATLAS”

17. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge16 Mini optical fibre cables  Single-mode G.652.B 9/125 optical fibres –4–4 –8 (6) –12 –24 –48 (60) (72)  Multimode G.651 50/125 optical fibres –6–6 –12 –24

18. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge17 Optical terminations in STAR points  Single-mode G.652.B 9/125 optical fibres are terminated with E-2000/APC (8  )  Multimode G.651 50/125 optical fibres are terminated with ST-HQ connectors  Other optical connectors are possible SC or LC

19. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge18 Optical termination equipment Fibre port 3 (4)U 19” frame for max. 144 fibres

20. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge19 Fibre frame 1U 19”for max. 24 fibres Optical termination equipment

21. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge20 Optical patch cords  Very large quantities of various optical patch cords will be required  The Market Survey indicated 10’000  We must know from you what you want and how many you want  Any patch cord type is possible

22. ST-EL-OF / L K de Jonge21 Optical fibre management  With such a dense optical network, we need to manage it  We are actually studying ways how to integrate our data into a common data base which should be linked to geographical information  We want make make use of the existing geographical information systems (GIS) and databases
